#1 It's not that it was an inexact science. It's that they neglected their duties.

"The basis of the charges is not that they didn't predict the earthquake. As functionaries of the state, they had certain duties imposed by law: to evaluate and characterize the risks that were present in L'Aquila. They were obligated to evaluate the degree of risk given all these factors, and they did not."

#5 Concur P2K. We might use Pyongyang City as a model. Throw in a few gov't only ~~PX/BX~~ shopping centers and all should go quite well.
